    Whilst I can't really help you; the bandage would at least keep it free from germs.

    I once cut on a joint and it took ages to heal; because it kept opening and bleeding.

    I've done something like this before, I did put something on it and it did heal over time. Although once it bad stopped bleeding every other time I moved my arm I took it off. And it was ok, it is confusing because you never know if it needs air to get to it. :/ but I would bandge it up just now at least to take your mind off It bleeding. Hope your ok :)

    You could try using steri-strips on it. These are quite useful for when a cut sort of needs stithes but you an't be bothered going to get them.

    i think i saw these in the pharmacy today, but they dont cover it up completely? maybe i could do that then put a bandage on over the top just for when im around people.

    thanks rg and and not, i'm going to pick some up tomorrow. edit: just googled steri strip to double check and this is what would definitely help. thanks
